Usually, I just measure out each spice separately, but time (or lack thereof) is becoming more and more of a thing for us these days – and I can’t deny that having a little pumpkin pie spice mix might help save a few precious minutes. Okay, more like seconds … but hey, every moment counts! And so! Homemade pumpkin pie spice mix it is!

Perfect Pumpkin Spice Storage

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Save money and make your own pumpkin pie spice mix with the spices you already have in your cupboard!

Yield:1/2 cup

Prep Time:5 minutes

Total Time:5 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons ground ginger

2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground cloves (can substitute allspice)

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix all spices together. Pour into an airtight container (a spice funnel or even a regular funnel helps keep the mess in check). Use anytime a recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice mix - or in most pumpkin recipes that call for similar spices.

Need less pumpkin pie spice?

Because of the smaller quantities, these aren’t perfect ratios when compared to the original recipe – but they’re close (and will still taste great!)

Huh… i really do need to do this. I say this after I just bought a teeny $7 container of pumpkin pie spice from the store. Ugh… next time!

If you have a Sprouts or Whole Foods near you they sell all of the spices in bulk and you can buy as much or as little you need.

I needed this! I’ve been using cinnamon and nutmeg in my coffee but it was definitely missing something. This is also the first recipe that I’ve found on Pinterest and actually followed through to make without completely changing half of it (I stuck with your recipe 100%), so that must say something, too! I’m using it in a cup of coffee right now and it is just what I was missing :)

Oops, meant to give it 5 stars! I also wanted to add that I used an old spice jar from something I’d used up, so the process was essentially free since I already had all of these spices in the apartment!

Hi Lauren! I loooovvve the idea of adding a pinch or two to your morning cup of coffee and I am headed to the kitchen to try that right this instant.
